Cleaning the Inside of the Supercharger
ok, I have a 92/93 SC here that needs to be cleaned inside and out before i really try and sell it. I was wondering what I should use to clean it with. i was going to use TB cleaner, but i need to know if this will affect anything besides the carbon buildup? it is a 92/93 so I know I don't have the coated rotors like the 94+ all have, so that shouldn't be an issue, but what about the bearings and stuff?
Will be tackling this next week when I clean the TB to be shipped.

There'* only one thing to use. Castrol Super Clean. Purple gallon or spray bottle. It'll disolve the carbon. And you can do it in the kitchen sink.
I don't really see any way of doing it thoroughly without causing the needle bearings to be replaced though. That grease is EXPENSIVE. I suggest cleaning, then replace the bearings.
